Nifty > Quit Meter
I was on Deb's site and noticed the Quit Meter that showed how long ago she quit smoking, and how much money she had saved. I entered my stats, and Quit Meter calculated that I had saved $5,937.00 since I quit in October of 1998.
Then I remembered the old joke:
"Last night I walked home instead of taking the bus. I saved a dollar fifty."
"You should have walked home instead of taking a taxi. You would have saved five dollars."
So, sure, I saved a lot by not smoking. But imagine that I used to snort Peruvian flake off of a $1000 a night call girl's breasts, but then quit. With the money I saved from quitting that nasty little habit I could be rich by now, dammit.
